Well-Actually War Trall Chessrook44 Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 NOTE REGARDING SCENARIOS Okay, I've finally gotten around to looking into the list of scenarios I'll be doing, as I do them. I had to remove a few items from the list I was given earlier, and added a few that I'm doing. For the most part, I'll be doing the "do this in order" scenarios first, then do the scenarios in level order, then scenarios with no level restriction, and then prefab scenarios. However, there are some scenarios that I don't know the level for. If anyone could provide me with info on what the levels for the scenarios listed in the spoiler are, that would be greatly appreciated. ??? - Turn That Frown Upside-Down (Duck) ??? - Turn That Frown Upside-Down 2 (Duck) ??? - The Battle for Gale (Cpt Charles) ??? - Blades Invaders (Dintiradan) ??? - Blades of Rogue (Niemand) ??? - Darkness (Ephesos) ??? - Death at Chapman's (Erik Westra) ??? - Foul Hordes (Sam Harada) ??? - A Large Rebellion (Otto Holmèn) ??? - Nephilim Mystery (Seletine) ??? - Phew for a minute (Nikki) ??? - Playground for the Pyromaniac (Cpt Charles) ??? - Proving Grounds (Michael Slack) ??? - The Ritual of Registration (Nemesis) ??? - River and Leaf (Akhronath, ported to BoA by Ishad Nha) ??? - Shipwrecked (Seletine) ??? - To Hell in a Handbasket (Nemesis) ??? - The Triple Valley (Iffy) ??? - Waterweb (Handyman) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) Oh no. I think I made a mistake. You should play Three Twenty-Three. That's my Warrior's Grove scenario. You should skip Phew For a Minute, because that's the one which is just Radiohead lyrics. ... This is the problem when literally all of your work can be finished within an hour.

Seasoned Roamer Old MikeS Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Proving Grounds was designed to play with any level of party. It was my second effort, so the balancing is iffy, but was finished with a level 1 party and was harder (my opinion) with a level 30 party. Generates monsters on the fly after each level is cleared.

Oh don't worry, it's on there. It's just not on the list I just made as THAT list is only ones that didn't have a level listed with them. I already know what custom scenarios I'll be starting with. As for the next episode... has anyone seen Ripley anywhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Dintiradan Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Blades Invaders is a hastily made port(ish) of Space Invaders I made, mostly to test out a pathfinding trick. There's no plot or anything; invaders (reskinned goblins) keep spawning on one side of the map and you lose if one reaches the other side. I believe I tested with a melee singleton strong enough to kill goblins with one blow, but whatever works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk Edgwyn Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Years ago, after reading about BoA in a magazine I purchased it and played the included scenarios. I found one of the early sites and played three or four scenarios. Proving Grounds was the only one that I remember and I really enjoyed the throwback to Wizardry.

Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I finally watched an episode because you got to something that I made. Man, the last time I released an update to the HLPM was almost ten years ago (and the last time I did something significant to it was a couple years before that). This is a blast from the past. A few idle thoughts: 1) I stopped updating the Library after a while, so it's missing a ton of later scenarios. But it has early scenarios, up through roughly 2007. 2) Apparently I tinkered with Machrone's dialogue after I last uploaded a version of the HLPM, because the version I have sitting on my computer has a bit more to it than what you saw. Interesting. (And yes, you did see Machrone before. He appears in Buzzard in A Small Rebellion and in Seleucia in Diplomacy With the Dead. You will see him again in nearly all of my scenarios.) 3) Lol at the "easy" combat in the Arena. It's easy in the sense that the monsters are a good deal below your level, although by the time you're level 36, they're still relatively high-level creatures. (Level 30, I believe.)
